Magnifico 1492, Uffizi Gallery

By Pierre Ferland | Tuesday, 6th October 2026

At the Uffizi this October, Magnifico 1492 reconstructs Lorenzo de’ Medici’s collection as it stood in the year of his death — over a hundred works returned from international institutions to their original context.

Portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici in a blue robe trimmed with fur

October 2026

In the Uffizi’s autumn galleries, Magnifico 1492 brings together over a hundred works — paintings, sculptures, gems, bronzes and hardstones — that reconstruct Lorenzo de’ Medici’s collection as it was inventoried in the year of his death. Loans from major international institutions, returned to the rooms the pieces occupied in the family’s palace on Via Larga. It is a serious scholarly project with the quality of a very well-made argument about what the Renaissance was actually thinking.
